In today's video I share my thoughts on whether or not it's worth shifting our de facto email protocol from the widely used IMAP or webmail solutions more towards POP and local storage. Does IMAP bring with it the same potential problems as other cloud solutions?

Free software as described by GNU.org, "The four essential freedoms. A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms:
The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this." from GNU.org https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html
Open source as described by OpenSource.com, "The open source way is about applying the principles of open source software development beyond software. Beyond technology. Opensource.com is about sharing how the open source way can change our world in the same way the open source model has changed software." https://opensource.com/open-source-way

"Neocities is bringing back the fun, creativity and independence that made the web great.
"We are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. It's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again.
"That's where Neocities comes in. We provide a canvas for people to make any web site they want. Whether it be a web site about something they're good at, something they love, something they hate, or their own completely customized profile where they can introduce themselves in a way that actually matters to them.
"Our goal: to enable you to harness the creativity, beauty, and power of creating your own web site. To rebuild the web we lost to automation and monotony, and make it fun again." From the Neocities about page.

Today I give you guys a tour of "my" Linux desktop. I've installed a duplicate of my daily driver Manjaro distribution to show you how I do it. If you'd like me to do a follow up video exploring some of my app choices, please let me know. Manjaro is available from https://manjaro.org
"Developed in Austria, France, and Germany, Manjaro provides all the benefits of the Arch operating system combined with a focus on user-friendliness and accessibility.

I take a detailed look at the Unity desktop environment to see if it's any good.
'Unity is a graphical shell for the GNOME desktop environment developed by Canonical Ltd. for its Ubuntu operating system. Unity debuted in the netbook edition of Ubuntu 10.10. It was initially designed to make more efficient use of space given the limited screen size of netbooks, including, for example, a vertical application switcher called the launcher, and a vertical space saver multipurpose top menu bar.' -Wikipedia.org
